How to Use This Classification

  • On your BOL, list NMFC 30100 and reference Note 30102, then specify alloy (brass, bronze, or copper), form (sheet, rod, coil, casting, scrap), and packaging (pallet, crate, bundle).
  • Match your item to the Note 30102 language before rating—for example, copper coils on skids vs. brass rod bundles—to determine the correct class and handling conditions.
  • Protect surfaces with non-abrasive dunnage and edge guards, and band securely; separate pieces to prevent metal-on-metal rub and keep sharp edges covered for dock safety.
  • Provide unitized weights and counts per pallet or crate, declare if stackable, and photograph the packed load to document compliance with Note 30102 packaging expectations.

Business Value

  • Prevent reclass fees by citing Note 30102, avoiding vague “metal parts” descriptions that trigger inspections and rebills.
  • Aligning packaging with the note reduces damage risk on heavy metal freight and can cut accessorials tied to handling difficulties.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and streamlines routing, supporting faster transit and steadier capacity.
  • Clear alloy/form details enable accurate rating upfront, improving quote precision and helping you avoid overpaying for LTL space.
